This forum is better when we focus on PSU wrestling. Candid, honest, truthful, factual discussions about the other guys (Rutgers, tOSU, and Iowa are mostly whom I'm referring), are enjoyable. This forum has also been a great place to share not just information, but opinions. We discuss all things wrestling, and generally, should be able to have the same types of conversation we could have at the dining room table, or in a bar, and all places in between. Debate, differences of opinions, even arguments are perfectly normal.
Each of us have a responsibility to others in this place, to have some level of respect for others. Each of you draw that line at a different place, and there's half-an-ounce of oversight by mods to keep us above the civility line. I know Tom better than most, if not all here, and we couldn't ask for a more reasonable, pragmatic, rational dude to keep us out of dumpster fire or cesspool territory. In doing so, he has given folks lots of latitude.
Unfortunately, not everyone plays nice. Whatever the intentions, whatever other's wiring (personality, nature, values, and attitudes), a couple folks, even one at times, can send this forum into a frenzy. It's rare, but they get asked to tone it down, or as a last resort, to leave. It's unfortunate, though reasonable people should be appreciative, as the tone and content of this forum improves.
All that said, and I'm not following my own rule of being short and concise with my posts, other than my rankings and reviews, I love this place. And I love the folks here that I've gotten to know over the years. I love HR too, even 34-and-holding, and the tOSU forum, but draw the line at the Mat (haven't been there in years). I's my opinion, this is the best forum going.
